Cat breathing rapidly?

2015-10-06 5:45 am
Before you say not to be on here looking for legit doctors advice and to just take my cat to the doctor just listen, we're taking him in the morning, I have to wait till morning. So we just noticed it tonight but my cat has been sleeping a lot which I thought was normal but then we realized he's been breathing really fast. There's two places he hides, under the kitchen chair facing the wall or in the bathroom. I figure he's avoiding the light because he's not trying to sit on the cold tiles. He hid under the chair the night before but we thought nothing of it. I've been sick all day today and haven't really paid much attention to him. He normally will on occasion walk around with his mouth open. He's usually into a lot of things with my other cat, sleeping most of the day and up all night. My older cat ha's an upper respiratory infection when we got her from a shelter and this seems different. He's only a few month old, I got him in July. He can't meow, he squeaks. I love him to pieces. We're thinking of a few things, the dust from his litter made him sick since he throws it around, the automatic glade spray near his litter box made him sick or the smoke from being in my brothers room made him sick. We put him in a kennel to keep him or if my brother room and the bathroom floor the night and he just started squeaking and that's the most excitied he's been in at least a day.
更新1:

The squeaking meow thing is normal for him, but also we took him to the vet today and he has a fever so they gave him 2 shots so we wouldn't have to give him medicine orally and I don't think it's helped much but they said by Wednesday night to Thursday morning he should be better or to bring him back. I'm just really worried. Theres no blood in his stool, he only pees, he drinks lots of water and has maybe eaten once today which worries me more.

I hate it when people just say "Take him to the Vet." 'cause it's like "WELL DUUUUHHHH I know that already, smartass..." Also, it's not even helpful.

So anyway, this sounds like it could be an upper respiratory infection. Also this sounds like it may be feline asthma. It could have been triggered by many of the factors you mentioned, actually. They will probably want to prescribe him some medicine for it. Or you could try just getting rid of ALL of those factors and see if it helps. To an asthmatic cat, even the dust from cat litter can complicate the issue.

I hope you'll update and let us know what the Vet says! Good luck! <3

Check his gums, are they white instead of pink? Get him in to emergency NOW.

Are his pupils dilated even in bright light? He needs help.

Is his breath raspy? Is there blood on his nose, anus, anywhere on his rear, in the litter box or ears? Is he walking with back slightly arched, stiffly, hesitantly, reluctantly? Those are all danger signs. Is his fur sticking up in spikes instead of laying smooth?

Was he eating or drinking today? Your vet needs to know all of this.

Try rubbing his chest and neck under his face. It could be a respiratory infection and a mucous build up.
